Obomination – Obama’s DOJ: Conservatives Need Not Apply

The FOIA request is in from Pajamas
Media for the resumes of the attorneys hired by the Civil Rights Division since
Obama took office, and the results are disturbing.The Department of Justice has hired leftwing
radicals to staff that Division’s career service attorney positions.

The
New York Times had previously reported
that lawyers hired in the past two years are more likely to have experience
with liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law.Although the media has widely reported about the Bush DOJ investigation for
politicized hiring, resumes reveal
that 25% of the Bush hires conservative credentials and 7% percent had liberal
ones, but 60% of Obama’s hires had liberal credentials while not a single one
had conservative ties.

Packing the offices with certain
personnel means that the cases pursued by the Department of Justice are directed
to leftwing political objectives.In
June, Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution Chairman Lamar Smith
held an oversight hearing to investigate allegations
that: (1) voter intimidation cases against the New Black Panther Party would be
dismissed; (2) the voting section will only bring cases for the benefit of
racial minorities; (3) the voting list maintenance requirement of Section 8 of
the National Voter Registration Act would not be enforced; and (4) voting
rights laws are not enforced in a race neutral manner during the redistricting
cycle.

These Department of Justice jobs
are career positions, not political appointments. They are supposed to be
neutrally enforcers of the law, not hacks for an extreme political
agenda.Due to a hard-fought court
battle at Pajamas Media, we know the real truth about politicized hiring.Obama’s attorney general has built up his own
Department of Injustice.
